The best Boxing Day flight sales of 2024
Expedia
From Thailand to Tasmania, Brisbane to Beijing and more, Expedia offers low-cost flight deals throughout the year, and Boxing Day is no exception.
The booking platform is offering up to 30% off hotels, flights and package deals as part of its annual Boxing Day sale event in 2024.
Flight Centre
If you’re unsure what airline or even what destination you would like to travel to in 2025, Flight Centre is your one-stop shop!
In 2024 the booking platform is offering a range of exciting deals on behalf of airlines like Qantas, Air Canada, Jetstar, Singapore Airlines and Air New Zealand, with round-trip flights to London for under $1,300, Hawaii for under $500, Singapore for under $400 and the Sunshine Coast for under $100.
Qantas in particular is selling 800,000 discounted seats across more than 100 routes around Australia with Domestic Economy fares starting at $109 one-way, and more than 30 routes on sale for under $150 one-way.
Virgin Australia
As one of Australia’s most popular airlines, it comes as little surprise that Virgin is offering scores of epic discounts across its flight network this Boxing Day.
With fairs as little as $49 on offer until December 29, the airline is reducing the cost of flights within Australia and internationally – including return flights to fan favourite destinations Bali and Fiji for only a few hundred dollars.
But you’ll have to get in quick to secure these lowered sale fares, only 500,000 discounted economy tickets are available!
Etihad
Unlike other airlines, Abu Dhabi-based operator Etihad does not offer discounts on flights as part of a Boxing Day sale promotion.
They do however host a New Year’s sale event, which has previously featured heavily discounted roundtrip deals abroad.
Do flights go on sale on Boxing Day?
Similarly to other major sales events throughout the year including Click Frenzy, Prime Day, and Black Friday, the Boxing Day flight sales will only go live on the day itself – December 26.
While end dates for the Boxing Day flight sales differ per airline, it is likely they will conclude prior to the New Year, leaving you a small, but very sweet window to book your flights for 2025 for less.
